Tommy Johansson (aka kingtommy72)

Tommy Johansson is a chess enthusiast whose journey through the realms of 64 squares is as colorful as a brilliancy prize game packed with tactical fireworks and unexpected blunders alike.

Rating Highlights

• Blitz: Tommy peaked at a respectable 1900 in 2016, showing real promise in the frantic world of fast chess.
• Rapid: Not to be overshadowed, he hit a rapid rating high of 1692 back in 2013.
• Daily Chess: With a modest start, though perhaps the slow-paced daily games simply can't compete with his blitzy flair.

Playing Style & Personality

Tommy approaches chess like a rollercoaster ride: lots of excitement, some ups and downs, but always entertaining. With an early resignation rate of only about 1.5%, this player sticks around, eager to fight till the bitter end or until the coffee runs out.

His games usually stretch to about 70 moves on average when winning, a clear sign that Tommy enjoys a well-fought battle. Losses tend to be slightly shorter — perhaps because sometimes the opponent catches him mid-thought, or because he just wanted to save time for pizza.

Known for a stellar comeback rate of over 82% and an unthinkable perfect win rate after losing a piece, Tommy is the ultimate underdog, making opponents sweat over their mistakes — if only he could stop dropping his own pieces so often!

Competitive Record

With more than 21,000 blitz games played and nearly 10,000 wins, Tommy is no stranger to intense competition, although his losses do outnumber the wins slightly, proving even the best suffer the occasional checkmate dance.

His longest winning streak is a jaw-dropping 19 games — at least we hope he took a victory lap on Twitch after that.

Memorable Rivalries

Tommy's most frequent opponents include bayatli19, theodoricstrickland, and fergamat, proving that he's always up for a challenge. With a versatile opening repertoire (top secret, naturally), opponents never quite know what to expect, which keeps the games spicy!

When and Where to Find Him

Tommy tends to shine brightest around midday to early afternoon, with an impressive near 49% win rate at 8 AM — clearly a morning bird probably fueled by strong coffee or sheer stubbornness. Sundays and Saturdays are his most victorious days, meaning weekend warriors beware!

In Summary

Tommy Johansson is a passionate chess player who embodies the spirit of the game with resilience, humor, and sheer love for the challenge of check and mate. Whether turning the tide after a lost piece or engaging in epic blitz battles, he plays with heart — and occasionally a mischievous blunder or two.

Keep an eye out for kingtommy72 — you never know when he'll strike with that sneaky fork or heroic knight sacrifice. And if you lose, just remember: Tommy’s probably busy celebrating victory with a victory pizza slice somewhere.
